MY PRECIOUS CHILDHOOD ROSE


TO SHEILA with Love...

MY PRECIOUS CHILDHOOD ROSE

Oh how sweet
You are 
My dearest 
Sheila...

So pretty and
Special to me
You are
And always 
Will be ...

My favorite cousin 
Best friend 
Since
I was little...

When you played
With me
I knew glee
Really!

Days of childhood
Spent in your 
Company 
Are happy 
Treasured memories...

I smile at recollection 
Of how you 
Unfailingly
Helped me with
My "bus"  tickets 
Collection...

Oh if those times 
I could rewind 
And relivè
How happy I'd be...

Let it be
Now...
I'll settle
For priceless 
Joyful 
Throwbacks!

So Sheila 
Truly I hope 
You like 
This rhyme...

It comes from 
My heart to yours
My precious 
Childhood rose...!
